The Acumed Acutrak 2 Headless Compression Screw System is the latest evolution in fully threaded headless screw fixation, with intuitive instrumentation designed to simplify the surgical technique. The Acutrak 2 System may help minimize drill depth sensitivity and offers 68 unique screw size options to fit a wide variety of applications throughout the body. The Acutrak 2 Headless Compression Screw System includes the Acutrak 2 Micro, Acutrak 2 Mini, Acutrak 2 Standard, Acutrak 2 - 4.7, Acutrak 2 - 5.5, Acutrak 2 - 7.5. The Acutrak Advantage With its introduction in 1994, Acutrak Headless Compression Screw technology revolutionized the way surgeons treat fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. Acutrak 2 introduced the next generation in fully threaded headless fixation, with larger guide wires, larger hex drivers, and a tapered end. The Acutrak 2 System is routinely used in a number of lower-extremity fracture fixations, including those featured below. Features Continuously Variable Thread Pitch The Acutrak fully threaded continuously variable thread pitch screw design provides greater compression and a larger window of compression as compared to partially threaded Herbert style screw designs.1 In addition, this feature allows a fracture or osteotomy site to lie almost anywhere along the length of the screw. A Family of Options Available in six different families for a total of 68 different screws, addressing applications throughout the upper and lower extremities. Fully Threaded Biomechanical studies have shown that fully threaded screws better handle the cyclic loading that may occur during healing.
